Here’s What You Can Expect from The Well’s Burger Fest
October 20, 2025
Burger lovers, this one’s for you. From October 17 to November 2, The Well is hosting Burger Fest, bringing together some of Toronto’s favourite restaurants and Wellington Market merchants for a limited-time celebration of all things burger.
Each spot is serving up something special — from dry-aged beef to longganisa and duck — and with every burger purchased, $1 will be donated to Second Harvest to help fight food insecurity across the city.
